Glen,
You're not the lone ranger.
Many folks seem to have trouble with OSX printing
Including me. I've been truggling with it for some time now.
I suggest:
1. try turning Classic off before printing.
I can print in OSX only with Classic off.
2. Try installing the Gimp drivers.
3. You might want to try Print Set Up Repair
www.fixamacsoftware.com
which provides several fix options including resetting Permissions
(whatever that is?)
After all that, I can print once in Classic and then have to restart
my printer.
HTH

Subject: [G] OS X Can't Find Printers
Recently I cloned the hard drive in my B & W to a larger one. Now when I try
to print from OS 10.3.9 and the new drive the printing dialogue box says "no
printer selected."
So I open Printer Setup Utility go to "add printer" and it lists all the
connected printers. Then I select the printer I want and hit the
"Add" button; a
subwindow displays the needed driver. I hit "Add" once more for the driver and
get the error message:
Printer Name: (the printer I selected)
Unable to communicate with the printer to set the printer's installable
options.
If I try to reinstall the printer driver, I get a message saying driver
already installed.
And yes the printers are turned on and are printing from other Mac's on the
same network.
Either the something went wrong with the drive cloning or I accidentally
changed a setting somewhere.
I suppose I could do an archive and install; is there a less drastic
solution? Maybe there is there a .plist file somewhere I should delete?
David Pogue's Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Panther Edition is on order but
won't arrive for a few days.
All suggestions appreciated. --glen (digest mode)
